[Maccabee]

Would you still suggest http://www.w3schools.com/?
Or should I go buy some books? I need to really master php but I just need to learn the basics of java script first. And someone explain to me, the idea behind java script.

The Idea Behind JavaScript

JavaScript provides a way to enable client-side interaction with a web page. Web pages are marked up using HTML, and served over HTTP. To get a web page, your computer requests a page from a web server, which fetches the page (stored on the server) and returns the HTML markup to your computer via HTTP. Your computer then renders the page. This means that every page interaction requires communication with the server, which is relatively slow compared to communication with the local machine. JavaScript removes this limitation by enabling some interaction with web pages without requiring communication with the server.

Learning PHP

Don't. It's a horrible language and not much fun for doing web development anyway. Learn something more useful, like Python or Ruby, which are both (a) better for web development anyway, and (b) also useful outside of web development.
